The Take
All Alone (Six Feet Under) earns a watch if you want family rot and adult consequences handled without apology or redemption arcs that cheat.
Alan Ball's single vision keeps the story grounded in the Fisher funeral home, where every corpse and affair lands with moral weight instead of soap-opera filler.
The Verdict
The series respects its premise: death changes everything and family is often the messiest part of coping.
Skip the binge if you need constant uplift. Order it if you want five seasons of sharp, unsentimental adult drama.
Watch it.
